We all want to feel safe in our own skin, but dealing with an issue that impacts our physical appearance can seriously affect our self-confidence.

Suffering from acne can be a distressing time, and it’s not only teenagers and adolescents who are affected by the daily struggle of trying to combat acne, adults experience it too.

We’re not all blessed with flawless skin, and achieving that ultra-smooth complexion can be costly and often disheartening. It can be a long road of trial and error before we find a solution that really works for us.

Unfortunately, it’s not always as simple as finding the right cleanser, drinking plenty of water or making changes to our diets. Although these are all very beneficial in helping to reduce the appearance of acne, they are not always permanent solutions.

Both teenagers and adults shouldn’t have to suffer from acne and the flow-on impact it causes to our self-esteem.
​
We are lucky to live in an age where we can achieve the complexion we want and be confident in our appearance. Here at Vein and Skin Clinic, we have a range of laser treatments and pharmaceutical products that eliminate the bacteria and inflammation that cause acne.

Pimples are pimples, acne is acne

Even the most flawless skin can be prone to a blemish or two, but it’s important to note that having acne is not the same as having a pimple here and there. Acne affects the face, chest, shoulders or back in a quantity that can be irritating and uncomfortable.

There are different grades of acne; mild, moderate or severe. In any case, having acne is an unpleasant experience for the sufferer.

Acne presents itself in a lot of different ways but has an annoying cluster characteristic that makes it difficult to hide. Whether it’s in pustule, blackhead, papule or the severe cyst form, acne can wreak havoc on your skin’s texture and can last for months.
​
Even the odd pimple can be very annoying. These also need to be treated appropriately to avoid scarring.

Get the skin you want with these effective treatments

Whether your acne condition is relatively new or you’ve been battling through it for a while now, you don’t have to put up with it any longer.

Finally there are non-invasive ways to destroy bacteria and reduce the inflammation that causes acne.

Vein and Skin Clinic offer three different types of laser skin treatments that result in healthier, softer skin.

iClear Blue Light – for mild to moderate acne, regular treatments of iClear Blue Light can help to clear your skin. Although the light is deep-penetrating, iClear Blue Light treatments are painless and help to eradicate acne-causing bacteria.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT & ALA) – this treatment combines amino levulinic acid (ALA) and a light source such as IPL or iClear Blue Light to minimise pores and reduce oil glands. When ALA is activated by the light source, it can dramatically improve active and stubborn acne.

Suffered from acne in your youth and have the scars to prove it?

Many of us leave acne behind after our teenage years, but can be left with unsightly scarring to remind us of that awkward phase.

When acne marks its territory on our face, it’s there to stay unless we take action to improve the tone of our skin.

Fraxel laser treatment not only targets facial scarring, it improves the whole tone and texture of your skin, leaving you with a clearer complexion.
​
If you’ve suffered from acne in other areas of your body such as your chest, back or shoulders, Fraxel laser treatment can sort these areas out for you too.
